A inspiring Botanical garden! Surface pattern design.

Last Sunday
although it was not a sunny day, as I was a little tired about so many hours on
my computer, I thought it would be great to repeat a second visit to my city
botanical garden.

It is such a peaceful place, so relaxing to walk and get lost around all that great vegetation.

The first
visit it was very inspiring to me as I created some vector patterns based on photos I took. This other second visit it was productive too, as
I have created new iphone cases designs based on some of the photos which I
took there.

Really, it is a very inspiring place for me, and sure I will come
back in Spring as I missed the flowers blosson. It must be an explosion of
colour in that season.

I have had
a great fun manipulating these photos with photoshop filters, experimenting, making
colour adjustments.. .Impossible for me to tell you the steps I did, as I don´t use
photoshop a lot, I was only playing with the filters to see if I got an
appealing result.

It is the first time I have used photos like that, and there is a lot
to learnt. I feel excited about it. It is true I created patterns based on photos but tracing them at illustrator, which it is quite a different method.

I don´t
know much about photography, it was only a game for me, but I am thinking about
getting a new and better camera!
